Titel 5 Theme 4: Dystopias and Fahrenheit 451 (EXAM)

With Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 as the central text, this course explores the representation of dystopias in literature. Our work has pivoted around the following questions:
Which are the characteristics of dystopian literature?
How is the interaction between the individual and the wider community like in a dystopian setting?
What role does contemporary technology play in all this?
What external and internal circumstances/factors lead to a dystopian society?

In reading the novel, our focus has been on characterisation (Montag, Clarisse, Mildred, Beaty), the social setting, the use of symbolism, the style of writing, and the themes explored. Finally, we've compared Fahrenheit 451
to Arnold's "Dover Beach" and Perry's "Chained to the Rhythm" and discussed how the three texts are products of their time and raise similar questions about contemporary society, even though they are from very different historical periods.

In groups, the students have planned and conducted the teaching sessions of our work with Fahrenheit 451. After preparing vocabulary exercises and study questions for pre-assigned excerpts of the novel, each group helps the class achieve an analytical understanding of the text. Additional study questions were provided by the teacher.

Analytical methods: NewCriticism, New Historicism.

Materials:
- Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451, 1953 (novel)

Titel 6 Theme 5: Horror (EXAM)

In this course, we work with and examine texts that fall under the heading of Horror-literature. We discuss the idea that horror can function in a variety of ways, namely as mirrors of a) human nature b) the human psyche and c) human society. Apart from this, we discuss the ways in which writers may create horror through various devices such as foreshadowing, mood, atmosphere and typical horror tropes. In this light, we discuss how horror can be used to offer release for the more uncivilized emotions we may have and as a release for the ID (Freud's personality model). The students also do oral presentations on the texts to practice exams.
